The multi-functional foot in athletic movement: Extraordinary feats by our extraordinary feet [PDF]

, 2016
The unique architecture of the foot system provides a sensitive, multi-tensional method of communicating with the surrounding environment. Within the premise of the paper, we discuss three themes: complexity, degeneracy and bio-tensegrity.

Characterization of the structure, cells, and cellular mechanobiological response of human plantar fascia

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2018
In this study, we report that human plantar fascia consists of two distinct tissues with differential structural properties. These tissues also contain stem/progenitor cells with differential biological properties.

Stretching and relaxing the plantar fascia may change plantar fascia thickness but not pressure pain thresholds: a cross-sectional study of patients with plantar fasciopathy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Despite the established relevance of ultrasonography and assessment of pressure pain thresholds in patients with plantar fasciopathy, patient and probe positioning has been mostly ignored and are not necessarily reported in research.
